DC-AC Converters
1. List and explain five (5) applications where DC-AC converters (inverters) are used?

2. Why is it necessary to rectify the AC voltage first and the convert it back AC?

3. A general analysis of the switch-mode inverter (shown in the figure below) is to be done.
The switching frequency fs, which is also the frequency of the triangular signal is 1450
Hz. The DC voltage, Vd, is 600 V. Output voltage is sinusoidal voltage with a frequency
equal to 50 Hz. The load is connected between the inverter leg A and the dc voltage
midpoint o.

a) Find the frequency modulation ratio, mf. Why is it chosen as an odd number?
b) Calculate the output voltage (rms value of 1st harmonic), when the amplitude modulation
ratio, ma, is equal to 0.8?
𝑉
c) Prove that (𝑉̂𝐴𝑜 ) is 𝑚𝑎 2𝑑.

4. For the single phase half bridge inverter shown below, answer the following questions.

a) The frequency of the triangular signal is 750 Hz. Calculate the frequency
modulation ratio, mf.
b) What is ma when the output voltage is 230 V?
